The Everywhere blog

A few weeks ago, I was contacted by Steve Black, the host of an Internet program called Periodical Radio that's produced by The College of Saint Rose in Albany, New York. Steve wanted to talk about Everywhere — why we created it, how we designed it, how we work with our community (in other words, you!) to produce it, and where we want the magazine to go as it evolves.

The conversation was recorded, and it's now online, available as both as a podcast (er, Toddcast?) and as a text transcript. Although it feels odd to quote myself, here's how I summarized our progress thus far:

"It’s an ongoing experiment. [The Everywhere] community is relatively new, and the kind of submissions we’re getting are completely encouraging. We shipped the second issue largely with user submitted content, and that was fantastic, also very encouraging. We’re just very excited to see where it’s going to go. The job here is to be more of an orchestrator than to really lead the community. We’re excited to see where people are going to take us, what kind of places they want to go, what kind of places they’re going to discover. The opportunity to put those stories into print is pretty exciting."

Alas, I fear I may have set a new record for the number of times one person can use variations of the word "excited" in one paragraph. Hopefully you get the idea. But if you want to learn more about how we create Everywhere, and the philosophy behind it, by all means check out the Toddcast podcast and transcript at Periodical Radio.
